Hello,
I recently tried loading isilo for pocket PC 4.3 trial version on to my XDA exec, which seems to have been successful as the icon appears in the program files folder, however, when i try to open it i am faced with a screen with two options

1 internal storage
2 SD card

As i don't have an SD card yet i tried the first option, however nothing happens!
The second option does nothing either!

I have installed *.pdb files to open on the internal storage, but can't navigate to them.

I have looked at some other threads and tried accessing the file both while connected to my PC and disconnected, and tried to uninstall isilo, but i find that when i click remove programs in settings, the isilo program does not appear in storage memory.

Ok, i'm totally new to this pda and to isilo, but it works fine on my PC and i'd probably buy the registered version if i could get this to work on my pocket pc as i have a lot of medical software which requires isilo!

Cheers for reading this!

Do you know in which directory you stored the files you want to view with iSilo? If so, you can use the "Device & Storage Cards" view (the rightmost icon in the command bar of the document list view) to navigate directly to that directory. The "Device & Storage Cards" view works similarly to a file explorer.

First thanks for that prompt reply!
I am currently in the Device and Storage cards screen, and have accessed it before, but the icons within this screen do not respond to screen taps, and the pda makes an error noise, preventing me from exploring the device with isilo!
The list and tools buttons in the lower aspect of the screen are similarly unresponsive, as is the button for devices and storage. The pda is otherwise fully functional currently.

Make sure that you have installed "iSilo for Pocket PC" and not "iSilo for Windows Mobile Smartphone". Windows Mobile Smartphone devices do not have touch screens, so "iSilo for Windows Mobile Smartphone" will not work properly on Pocket PC devices.

Suddenly I was able to reinstall isilo, and it's working perfectly now! Think you were right about the samrtphone install as well.
Sometimes the answer is so simple. I had a feeling it might be!
Thanks a million for your help. :D
